I think this might be a pretty clear indication Putin is entering the "find out" phase of the "fuck around, find out" cycle.
Wow, three downvotes. Tankies must really be calling all hands on deck on this one. ๐คฃ
yeah, you're definitely being prosecuted for your brave ideas as opposed to having said something stupid ๐คฃ
@Otan ...there's no way #SouthAfrica is gonna arrest #Putin, I'm sorry
There is only one way to find out.
@realcaseyrollins @Otan Is the logic that a different country will try to arrest him there?
The fact that people in the west genuinely believe that South Africa would arrest Putin shows just how divorced from reality they've become.
It wouldn't be SA picking sides in that war, though; it'd be about their legal obligation to act on the outstanding warrant for his arrest issued by the ICC.
They may still be unwilling to try to arrest him, but they're probably concerned about the long term. The ICC will be around long after Putin is gone.
@sxan Oh I'm not doubting they are okay with picking sides. Picking sides is all fun and games until it's time to actually fight, which is why that's what we're seeing rn ๐คช
I'm saying they might be afraid of starting #WWIII, the effects of which would likely be more severe and long lasting than some #ICC sanctions.
